The Giants exploded for six runs in the fifth inning and defeated the Reds, 7-1, to end their four-game losing streak. Tom Bradley started the outburst with a double, Bobby Bonds walked and both scored on a double by Garry Maddox. After Willie McCovey walked, Ed Goodson doubled to score Maddox. Gary Matthews then singled to drive in McCovey and Goodson. The Reds, who had won four straight games, scored their only run on a homer by Dave Concepcion. [The Sporting News]
